Normally I would regard this as sarcasm but given your strange posting history I think it's the opposite.

Anaquod. Town houses with basement suites, not sure if for sale or rentals.

I was going through Sherwood Co-Ops annual report today and there were two interesting construction related parts.

1. Sherwood Coop is taking over the Husky stations in Regina. I see the one on Rochdale is already fenced off and looks like it will be demo'd or something. I wonder if it ends up being just another brownfield site? What will happen to the other Husky locations, some are very close to an existing Coop station, hard to imagine them having two locations so close to one another.

2. Looks like they won 1 of the SLGA licence auctions in Regina. Makes me wonder where they will place the store, and also what will become of some of the previous SLGA locations. I see Willow Park took the Normanview location over very quickly.

Where are the other Husky stations in Regina? The truck stop has already been rebranded as an Esso.

Good question, I was primarily thinking of the Park Street Husky, pretty much across the street from the Coop station there. There is a Husky/Esso Card Lock on McDonald (close to the Coop cardlock), then the truck stop.

So who owns those Husky/Esso locations? Will Coop own them and inherit the Esso deal? Does Esso own them and have a partnership with Husky?

That Truck stop is a big piece of property so I am very curious what happens there.

Federated Co-op and Parkland (whose brands include Esso), took over the Husky stations - basically each took about half the stations in western Canada.

I was curious if the aerial imagery flights for this year were flown yet, so I scanned through the ADS-B playback archives for the past few weeks. There were flights on April 27th through the 30th, with the majority of the city covered on the 28th. I was out for a bike ride on the 28th, so I loaded up my gps trace with the flight trace and there was one point where our paths crossed at the same time, so I might be able to find myself. I think it takes a month or two for the imagery to get processed by the supplier, then someone at the city needs to remember to add a link to their portal.

The three 180 degree corners at the BMX track got paved yesterday. From what I read on their facebook page I think that is the only part of the track getting paved. That will make it easier to maintain speed between the straight away roller sections. Should be open again in a day or two.

The tender is out for new College Avenue pathway. It goes from Smith Street to Broad, and is separate from the sidewalk not simply a widening of it. It's just far enough off the road I probably wouldn't go out of my way to get on it if I was getting on College at Albert, now if the path started at Albert ...
